Not affected by it as in we were in it win, lose or draw but the way it technically works is we enter as Cup winners. This is of no relevance this season but in previous occasions it could have determined whether or not we competed in a qualifying round or went straight into the group stages.

It will be nice to win this. We will walk this competition. I’m sure the players will be happy with this particular winners medal to add to their collection as well. Europa League, and PL champs will be a nice haul for us next season.
